< Psalms 52 >

1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.
Kuom jatend wer. Maskil mar Daudi. Kane noyudo Doeg ja-Edom nosedhi ir Saulo kendo onyise niya, “Daudi osedhi e od Ahimelek.” Angʼo momiyo isungori kuom tim marach, yaye ngʼat maratego? Angʼo momiyo isungori odiechiengʼ duto, in ma in gir wichkuot e nyim Nyasaye?
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Ichano timbe midwaro wuondogo ji, lewi bende chano gik modwaro hinyogo ji; kendo lewino chalo gi wembe mabith.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
Ihero rach moloyo ber, miriambo mitni moloyo wacho adiera. (Sela)
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.
Ihero weche duto machwanyo ji, yaye in lep mohero wuondni!
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling-place, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
To Nyasaye biro tieli piny matieki chuth nyaka chiengʼ; obiro yudhi mi oyiechi oko e hembi; obiro pudhi mi ogoli e piny joma ngima. (Sela)
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
Joma kare biro neno mano mi gibed maluor; gibiro nyiere kagiwacho ni,
7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.
“Koro neyeuru ngʼatno, mane ok okawo Nyasaye obedo kar pondo mare, to nogeno mana kuom mwandune mathoth kendo notieko joma moko mondo eka omed bedo gi teko!”
8 But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
An to achalo yiend zeituni madongo maber e od Nyasaye; ageno kuom (hera) ma ok rem mar Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
Abiro paki nyaka chiengʼ kuom gima isetimo; abiro paki e nyim jogi maler. Abiro keto geno mara kuom nyingi, nikech nyingi ber.
